R-Security use market-leading conventional fire alarm equipment including the award-winning CFP range of 2-8 zone fire panels, the ActiV range of fire detectors and a host of useful fire alarm ancillaries and power supplies.
Addressable fire alarms give you an easy, reliable way to locate the position of any fires or hazards in your building. Linked into a central control panel, or multiple panels, an addressable system will report back to you on where any alarm has been triggers.
Two wire conventional fire alarm panels allow sounders, beacons, detectors and call points within one zone to run on the same pair of wires, meaning there is no need for a separate sounder circuit. This reduces the wiring costs.
Fire suppression systems are used to extinguish or prevent the spread of fire in a building or vehicle. Suppression systems use a combination of dry chemicals and/or wet agents to suppress equipment fires.
Every year the fire and rescue service is called to over 600,000 fires which result in over 800 deaths and over 17,000 injuries. About 50,000 (140 a day) of these are in the home and kill nearly 500 and injure over 11,000, many which could have been prevented if people had an early warning and were able to get out in time. In fact you are twice as likely to die in a house fire that has no smoke alarm than a house that does according to UK Fire Service Resources Ltd.
